I got this huge pack of wooden beads for 4.00 from Walmart. For this project I am using only the light beads... can't wait to make stuff with the rest!
Next I found a 12 inch chain from an old broken necklace.
Then I threaded all the beads on to twine. I had a little less than 2 1/2 feet of beads.
I left 7 inches on each end and cut the twine. Then I draped the beads the length I wanted them ( Lay them in a "Z" and then put the ends together).
With the open end of twine I connected my string of beads to the chain by looping it through several times.
I finished it off by tying a few knots at the end and threading the left over string into the center of the closest bead,
I love an earthy look combined with edgy things and the wooden beads connected to the chain does just the trick.
